Instead of wasting time here looking at a predetermined fact, it's better to go back and continue cultivating.

So the Mahayana cultivators who had come left one after another, leaving only Ice Phoenix Ancestor, Yun Jing, and some other people who wanted to watch the excitement.

Soon, a second bolt of purple-gold divine lightning descended.

Lu Fuyue raised her hand and put away the Weak Water Zither, then looked directly at it without any attempt to hide her gaze.

Since we can't avoid it, let's just face it head-on.

Trapped in the space, Li Yunjing saw Lu Fuyue put away her weapon and immediately understood what she was thinking.

His face turned pale, and he frantically tried to break through the space by circulating his demonic power, but it was to no avail.

A moment later, Yun Jing collapsed to the ground, his gaze dimming as he watched Lu Fuyue rise to face the purple-gold lightning tribulation.

"Little Phoenix, let's stop the tribulation, okay? You'll die if this continues..."

When Heaven intervenes in the tribulation of lightning, no one can survive. Moreover, the little phoenix only possesses eight layers of phoenix bloodline, making it impossible for it to undergo phoenix rebirth after death.

Unfortunately, no one could hear what he was saying, nor did anyone notice anything unusual about him.

The second purple-gold lightning tribulation quickly struck Lu Fuyue, her face instantly turning pale, and the next second she fell from the sky to the ground like a kite with a broken string.

Ice Phoenix Ancestor subconsciously moved forward, but quickly calmed down upon sensing Lu Fuyue's faint breath.

The purple-gold divine lightning completely covered Lu Fuyue's body, and those outside could not detect what was happening inside the lightning tribulation; they only knew that she was still alive.

However, everyone knew that Lu Fuyue was in grave danger during this tribulation. Even if she managed to survive the Golden Core tribulation, the divine punishment tribulation that followed would be the main event.

At this moment, Lu Fuyue, who was firmly enveloped by the purple-gold lightning tribulation, continuously circulated the Phoenix Body Refining Technique, guiding the purple-gold divine lightning little by little through her skin into her body, constantly tempering the strength of her skin.

Body refinement begins with the skin, followed by the flesh and blood, and finally the bones.

The Phoenix Body Refining Technique can enhance the phoenix bloodline within her, while the Heavenly Tribulation Lightning is the best aid for body refining, but it is also very dangerous.

Therefore, Lu Fuyue only had two paths before her: either die under the divine punishment lightning, or use the Golden Core Tribulation to cultivate the Phoenix Body Refining Technique, reach the third level, enhance her bloodline power, and be reborn through the Phoenix Nirvana when she was about to be annihilated.

The lightning covering Lu Fuyue's skin felt like thousands of silver needles piercing her body, and a fine pain kept spreading throughout her entire body.

Lu Fuyue gritted her teeth, forcibly enduring the pain, and circulated the technique again, round and round, until her skin continuously expelled black impurities under the tempering of the lightning tribulation.

She was covered in sweat, especially the fine beads of sweat on her forehead.

Lu Fuyue opened her eyes with difficulty, looked down at her body, her eyes darkened, and then she began to increase her spiritual power to circulate the Phoenix Body Refining Technique, proceeding to the next step of tempering her entire body's flesh and blood.

This step is crucial; one wrong step will lead to another, and the extent to which her phoenix bloodline can be enhanced depends on this step.

However, when Lu Fuyue circulated her cultivation technique, she sensed an obstacle within her body. Her expression changed, and she used her divine sense to examine her body. Her heart skipped a beat. How could this be? How could she be missing a meridian?

A cultivator's meridians are the necessary pathway for spiritual energy to enter the dantian from the outside. Once the meridians are broken, even if one has the best talent for cultivation, one will be nothing more than a cripple.

Especially since the meridian in Lu Fuyue's body is a vital meridian that directly connects her dantian and sea of ​​consciousness, if she cannot repair this meridian now, she will surely die today.

As Lu Fuyue circulated her cultivation technique, guiding her spiritual energy around the severed meridian and into other meridians within her body, she pondered how to quickly repair it.

However, once the purple-gold lightning tribulation entered her body, it continued to rampage uncontrollably.

Lu Fuyue's face grew paler and paler, and a metallic taste of blood rose in her throat. She immediately had a bad feeling; if this continued, the other meridians in her body would probably be affected as well.

But just then, the third bolt of purple-gold lightning struck down, giving her no chance to catch her breath, and struck straight at the top of her head.

Lu Fuyue gritted her teeth and decided to take the plunge and face both lightning tribulations at the same time.

So she mustered her last bit of spiritual power and used her physical body to directly meet the final purple-gold lightning tribulation.

She hadn't fully refined the second lightning tribulation yet, and now the third purple-gold lightning tribulation had arrived. A huge purple-gold lightning ball tightly enveloped her, and those outside couldn't see what was happening inside at all.

The Ice Phoenix Ancestor's expression changed drastically. He tried to save her several times, but then suddenly stopped.

She can only rely on herself to overcome the tribulation lightning. If he intervenes, it will only attract an even more terrifying Golden Core tribulation lightning, making it ten times more difficult for her to overcome the tribulation than it is now.

Yun Jing gripped the ground tightly with both hands, leaving bloody marks on his hands, which were covered in flesh and blood. His eyes were filled with despair.

He could only watch helplessly as she was swallowed by the lightning tribulation, unable to save her.

Little Phoenix, what should I do...?

Within the lightning tribulation, Lu Fuyue's body quickly turned into charcoal, her jet-black hair turned to ashes, her clothes were completely destroyed by the lightning tribulation, her blood gradually congealed, and she was in excruciating pain all over her body, as if her bones and flesh were being scraped away by daggers. Her consciousness was also gradually dissipating.

But just as she was about to lose all her life, a strong will to survive suddenly flared up in Lu Fuyue's eyes.

No, she can't die here. As long as she tries hard enough, she can definitely rewrite her inevitable fate. What if Heaven wants her to die? As long as she tries hard enough, she will definitely not die here.

All her past lives surfaced in her memory: she was pushed off a cliff, her body rotting in endless darkness, and her soul was trapped in a furnace by a demonic cultivator, constantly being refined and unable to escape.

But she came back to life, which means she was not destined to die, and that she was bound to rewrite her own fate!

Her extreme will to survive activated the Phoenix Body Refining Technique within her body. Suddenly, a powerful, immortal force erupted from Lu Fuyue's body, coursing through her entire being, gradually repairing her body and tempering her flesh and bones.

Time slowly passed, one month, two months, until a year later, her bones turned golden red, the char on her skin faded and turned into a translucent white, the red lotus on her forehead brightened a bit, and a heat rose on her back, and huge phoenix wings suddenly unfolded.
